One moment, everything is stable—your health, your job, your loved ones. The next? A sudden illness, an unexpected loss, a financial blow. Life doesn’t warn you before it flips the script. This is the brutal truth that humbles us all. No matter how strong, successful, or secure we feel, we are all one breath awayContinue reading “Life’s Fragility: The Humbling Truth That Changes Everything”

Let me take you back to my FM19 PSV Eindhoven save – the summer of 2019 when I pulled off what might be the most underrated double signing in my Football Manager history: Richairo Zivkovič and Andrija Zivkovič. No relation, just pure coincidence that these two Balkan talents (one Dutch, one Serbian) would become theContinue reading “From FM Gods to Forgotten Men: The Curious Case of the Zivkovič Twins Who Never Were”

By Abdallah Khabib Jallow There exists a place in every democracy where accountability goes to die—a shadowland between campaign promises and real governance, where leaders who swore oaths on constitutions, Qur’an, and Bibles suddenly develop selective amnesia. It’s the place beyond the pines of public scrutiny, where transparency is treated as a nuisance rather thanContinue reading “THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES: How Governments Only Listen When the Streets Burn”

By Abdallah Khabib Jallow The Gambia faces a defining moment. When an elected Member of Parliament describes peaceful youth protesters as “mice and cockroaches,” it’s not just an insult—it’s a flashing red signal that our democracy is in crisis.  The Moral Bankruptcy of Dehumanizing Dissent MP Babou Ceesay’s grotesque comparison of Gambians Against Looted AssetsContinue reading “MORAL AND POLITICAL BETRAYAL: Why Babou Ceesay’s “Vermin” Comments Demand National Outrage”

By Abdallah Khabib Jallow The sudden arrest and detention of Gambians Against Looted Assets (GALA) protesters—who were simply demanding transparency in the sale of ex-dictator Yahya Jammeh’s properties—exposed a rotten truth: President Adama Barrow’s government has been hiding something big. And now, after public outrage, Barrow has conveniently called an “emergency cabinet meeting” to discussContinue reading “Barrow’s Emergency Cabinet Meeting – A Smokescreen to Cover Up Jammeh’s Shady Asset Sales?”

On Nov 4, 2021, Hamraoui and Diallo were driving home from a PSG team dinner. Two masked men stopped their car, dragged Hamraoui out, and beat her legs with an iron bar. Diallo was held at the wheel. The attack lasted under a minute, targeting Hamraoui’s legs. Diallo, Hamraoui’s substitute at PSG, was suspected ofContinue reading “Betrayal in Boots: The Twisted Plot That Exposed PSG’s Dark SIDE”

By Abdallah Khabib Jallow In the solemn chambers of the High Court, where justice is meant to rise above noise and nuance, three men—Abdoulie Jallow, Alfusainey O. Jobarteh, and Ansumana Jarju—stood accused of a brazen and violent robbery. Their plea? Not guilty. It is a response that echoes with defiance, not only against the chargesContinue reading “No Denial in the Dark: Why a Not Guilty Plea Could Deepen the Defendants’ Trouble”

By Abdallah Khabib Jallow In The Gambia—often called the Smiling Coast—laws are meant to govern, regulate, and bring order. However, too often, they appear more as polite recommendations than enforceable rules. Nowhere is this more evident than in the transport sector.   Consider this: Transport fares in the country are not arbitrary figures plucked fromContinue reading “The Gambian Policy Paradox: Where Laws Are Suggestions, Not Rules”

By Abdallah Khabib Jallow Sixty years after shaking off British rule, Gambia proudly waves its flag, belts out its anthem, and claims its place as an independent nation. But here’s the million-dollar question—or in our case, the heavily-loaned million-dalasi question: How independent is a country that still depends on foreign aid, IMF loans, and remittancesContinue reading “Gambia at 60: Free, But Still Borrowing Sugar From the Neighbors”
